Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose no further than 15° and add a little collective as the speed builds.
What happened: The nose went down by up to 19° to accelerate, and the helicopter sank at up to 448 fpm. A steep nose-down attitude trades height for speed, and sink is what usually follows.
Watch for: Attitude: nose no lower than 15°; vertical speed level or climbing.
Arrival
Line up with the landing spot earlier, so the last part of the approach needs only gentle turns.
What happened: The steepest bank on the approach was 49°, against 20° for full marks.
Watch for: Bank angle: within 20° on the approach.
See Arrival Approach
As you slow through about 20 knots near the end, add collective to offset the loss of translational lift, together with the matching pedal. Keep some forward speed until you're close to the ground.
